“Everyone is entitled to personal choices. The freedom to choose is the very root of where happiness begins. If Miss GND wants her Mr Right, I think she deserves him.”

You know what, this comment reminds me of a situation a friend of mine is in, his friend who is a girl, that he likes, is dating a real dirtbag. But she has no problems using my friend as her emotional tampon, while she keeps making excuses for the jackass she is dating. She claims she has a special “instinct” for knowing the jackass is right for her.

Which conveniently flies in the face of the 50% divorce rate, which is OVER 50% of the time, initiated by women.

Yes, everybody is entitled to personal choices. And so is everyone entitled to the happiness or misery of such choices. Amazingly enough though, women expect to be applauded for stupid romantic decisions, and then DERIDE the very good men who later choose not to go out with them in turn (after learning that this woman, has had a history of dating basket-cases).

I have a friend who is very much like that, a “nice guy” with less-than-nice intentions. I think the following comic strip sums it up perfectly: http://www.somethingpositive.net/arch/sp02142004.gif

Oh! I’m sure you can have your cake and eat it. A nice guy doesn’t have to be a coward. So not all nice guys finish last. As a corollary, just because someone can’t get a partner because they’ve been nice doesn’t mean they should turn selfish.

Actually, I’ve discovered that a genuinely nice guy is not the same as “The Nice Guy(TM).”

What really needs to be looked at is what motivated him, is it sincerity or does he have an ulterior motive?

Having been The Nice Guy?(TM) myself, I wrote quite a few things about this before. One post is at http://macdyne.blogspot.com/2006/06/gone-revisited.html

PS. I’m not sure if you have rules about people leaving their blog URLs here. I don’t mean to spam. If you do have such spamming rules, then feel free to take down this comment.

Yes I agree with you on the whole. That mister nice guy needs a treatment or at least a sharp respond.

Thank you for sharing this story with me !

I think its incorrect to refer to him as Mr. Nice Guy because all of the attention he showered on you, the nice things he did, were not because of a kind and generous nature, but were motivated entirely in an attempt to get you to pay attention to him.

Don’t worry minishorts, if I saw someone trying to rape you, I would definitely help you. I wouldn’t let him hurt poor minishorts. I’ll look after you very nicely myself.
